This is my gamble of the year...31 Mar 2021 17:11
Every year i pick out a long shot on the National after eXhaustive research...watching dark horses for over a year. I have been lucky over the years with a few wins and some big price places. I try to go far 'dark horses' that are specifically 'held back' and appear to be trained for this event to get in the frame at big odds. I bet on the trainer and the jockey not necessarily the horse, thus i have selected an anti post bet at 50/1.
However, although i will lay out more money than what i have in ICON....i fully eXpect bigger returns from this investment....even if my horse wins. It's all relative if you are prepared to take risks. I never EVER wait for a share to 'prove itself' ....if it looks good i get in early, waiting for the big news only means you pay a higher price and even then as early investors take profits you could end up holding the baby.
WIN or LOSE good luck everyone!
